THIS IS WHAT I AM
    
    I can't choose
    what to be
    see me
    in my soul's nakedness
    my heart's transparency
    
   if you don't see
   anything that's worthy
   walk away,  instantly
   lest you end in misery

   life is all about
   to be
   or not to be
   verily
   'no' is often
   the best policy
   'yes' said too readily
   has ruined
   so many
   and robbed them
   of their right to be happy

   I can't be
   that someone
   you want to see
   (perhaps in your maiden-fantasy
    you hoped for a knight in shining armour
    but life is not a fairy story-
   no Camelot, I am too ordinary)
  
    think ten times
    before saying 'yes'
    
    it takes only a second
    to say 'no'
    that might be (for you dear sake)
   the best way to go
